The bathroom concert series idea came from a Youtube sensation Rin on the Rox. These 2 girls performed in their bathroom because of the acoustics.
What happened? Who where there? All is to be found here:

Hi Ellen, My name is Peggy Stark from North Platte Ne. I belong to a group of women called the Army of Angels. We hold fund raisers for people in our community. Most of the time it is for Cancer victims, we have done benefits for a lot of children. We have also donated to people for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Whether it be food or gifts we try to make as many people happy during the holidays.
We are all just middle class citizens but love what we are doing.
We all love you and your show we were talking one night at one of out meetings about how fun it would be to come to your show. I thought well I guess I should write you a letter and see if that would be possible. Most of us are in out 50's and 60's but we do have a few young ones in their 20;s.
Just want to say thank you for what you do for everyone you are amazing. Have a wonderful day Ellen and God Bless.

I am the mother of a son that tragically died in a car accident. He was eleven years old. I feel uniquely qualified to write a book about this loss.
My loss turned incredibly worse when I was informed that my husband was driving the car my two children were in, and alcohol was involved. I was devastated, shocked and confused. I had no idea he had taken them in the car when he was not only drunk...he was wasted.
I found myself slowly moving through the four phases of grief without knowledge of the importance of each phase. I had no idea how to deal with grief or that it could rear its ugly head twenty years later .
With a lot of help, I finally figured out that my future could give me a pleasant life even if the pain was tattooed forever on my heart.
I have self-published my book on Amazon and I encourage you to read my story and see how I managed depression so black I was afraid of LIFE. It is available now. It is called Eleven To Heaven

Hello Ellen,

My wife would watch your show everyday, she always said however here day was going that you would cheer her up. I lost my job in August and it has been a major struggle getting by. We have a 6 year old son that is so excited for Christmas, it brakes my heart to look at him because unless things turn around there wont be a Christmas for him. I started to watch your show as well, I know what my wife means now because for an hour a day I can smile and forget about all that is going on and wanted to thank you for making me smile and forgetting life's struggles just for a little bit of my day.

This is a story about a friend who asked a friend for a ride to the church , food pantry. The driver of the friend receiving assistance , who is also related to the director of the food pantry had to walk out due to discrimination. The director went out of bounds, by rude actions forcing the driver to not only walk out and not be able to help friend stock up on food. But also proceeds to tell friend , that driver is not allowed to come back. Then the driver calls the church to report this discrimination and they tell driver that food pantry is separate from church. So driver asked what to do about reporting such a matter and church secretary says Pastor will be in contact with driver. The director of food pantry is only acting this way towards driver because it is her ex-daughter in-law . The friend and driver thought this would make a great show because it shows the lack of care in the church, as well as discrimination amongst a family.

1. For me, it's that I contributed, ... That I'm on this planet doing some good and making people happy. That's to me the most important thing, that my hour of television is positive and upbeat and an antidote for all the negative stuff going on in life.

2. I don't understand the sizes anymore. There's a size zero, which I didn't even know that they had. It must stand for: 'Ohhh my God, you're thin.'

3. I gotta work out. I keep saying it all the time. I keep saying I gotta start working out. It's been about two months since I've worked out. And I just don't have...

Hello,

My name is Claudia I am a direct descendant of the Clotilda Africans. The last known slave ship that illegally carried slaves to Mobile, Alabama in 1860.

In 1860 slavery was abolished. Due to a bet or say more of a challenge Timothy Meaher a rich Planation owner placed wagered 110 slaves were transported and smuggled to Mobile Bay.

The story sounds unreal but it is real...and I am honored to be part of such history.





Recently wreckage of the ship is believed to be found.
